♥ MY LOVELY SUPPLIERS ♥

Hello and welcome to the suppliers information page.  This page will be frequently updated and hopefully will continue to grow with lots of lovely suppliers for you to work with in Dubai. Please note that as per my policy I only suggest suppliers who I have  met in person and truly like 🙂
Photographers
♥ Simon Charlton Photography
Simon is my photographer for my own wedding in January 2013, whom I met earlier this year. He’s lived in Dubai for over 10 years and is down to earth, extremely talented and I would highly recommend him.

Florists
♥ Flowers by CONTEMPO
OK, so I used to work for CONTEMPO Events Design but I really can recommend this talented bunch of florists and event designers. They have a huge client base and often work on large-scale Arabic weddings. However, they are more than happy to produce outstanding work for smaller expat weddings too.

Wedding planners
♥ The Perfect Moment

Bands

♥ The Maplejacks
Dubai based band who are made up of 4 guys. They are really awesome and really talented. They play at The Irish Village over the weekends but do have a slightly different vibe when it comes to weddings. One of the best bands in Dubai. (And yes, I booked them for my own wedding)
